                                                                    Flowers

The design inspiration for today is flowers. Yes, I know it is a bit too late to be talking about flowers because it is already December but I was going through my instagram pictures this semester and I saw quite a few pictures of the flowers. I captured them while walking around campus. I stopped to admire their beauty. I realized that no one makes an effort to stop and thank the people who work so hard planting the flowers around campus everyday. Everyone just rushes to class in the morning and comes back right after their done. Sometimes you need to make to just go enjoy the nature and the beauty that comes with it.


Here are a few pictures that I have taken :

Source of Inspiration: Typography


I have been working on a new class project where is have to create a layout of a website for the company Nerd News. I decided to make this a scientific news online newspaper for a college university. As I was going trough different fonts to use for the texts I came across two fonts - one looks more serious and bold than the other. I am still trying to choose which one I should use for my project. I came across these fonts when I was going through online examples and it caught my attention. I think I will I will be able to also incorporate the second font - Alien League in to my blog for a better effect

Below are the two fonts:

Black Wedding: Yay or Nay?

I think it sure does bring a whole new perspective. I think brides wear a black wedding just to be different. I thought white was a must but black is now the dress shade of choice. Black is a leading trend for the fashion-forward bride who wants to make a bold statement,' said a spokesman for bridal website WeddingPath, which has more than 2,000 visitors a month.

'Black dresses embellished with lace and pearls are an attractive choice, but you can also consider black piping or embroidery over the classic white dress.'One reason for the popularity could be that some couples are having elegant evening weddings to cut down costs and so black is a good dress colour alternative, she suggests.

The trend is not as bizarre as it sounds. Brides wore different colors until the 19th century because they simply chose their best dress, rather than buy a new one.

The outfit structure has been passed down from generation to generation. It was an amazing experience to be a bridesmaid. It was so much fun but by the end of the day my legs were so sore because of all the pictures we had to take. Ill be posting a picture to show you the outfit work by our culture.

And that is me on the left side. It was a really amazing day for everyone. And it was a pleasure work work hard to make sure she had the greatest day!

                                                      FALL

When I started writing this blog it was fall and the colors of fall inspired me with this creation. The colors of my page and the ideal wedding consists of the fall colors starting from a range of yellow to orange to red. I found this color to be perfect with my design because to me this shade is a very calm but bright color. For me the light shades of orange are a soothing color. I think what impacted me most was the environment. I was just surrounded with the shades of these colors and I wanted to create something with it.



Here are some pictures I have taken and inspired me to use these colors.

Photographer is a MUST!

This is also a really important part of the wedding. Hire a professional wedding photographer!
Yes now you might say that you have a friend or a family friend who knows how to take pictures. But I strongly recommend you to hire a professional. they may take good pictures but you want the greatest pictures and a professional wedding photographer has the skills and the background experience in these fields which makes him the best at what he does. Here are the 10 reasons why you should hire a professional wedding photographer-

1. They have the fine art training and experience
2. They have photography training and experience
3. They have experience shooting weddings and perhaps even shooting weddings at your location.
4. They have back up equipment if by chance anything goes wrong.
5. They have professional grade equipment.
6. In general they will have more and better equipment than your amateur friend or relative. (things like speed lights, strobes, radio triggers, tripods, reflectors, extra lenses, extra camera bodies and many more..)
7.They have high quality album and print options.
8. They also have time delivery of your proofs
9. They also bring extra people with them to help out like  an assistant or a second shooter
10 finally , they have professional grade backup systems that make sure that your images will be safe.

I have always wanted to be an event planner! It has been something I loved to do! My first inspiration is my mom! She used to always participate in planning event for the Srilankan community back at Bangladesh. She used to cater for events and my sister and I used to always help her. We also used to throw alot of parties at our place and my mom used to make a huge list of all the dishes she was planning to prepare! we used to think its impossible but how she managed her time and prepared everything in order used to amaze us. I love cooking with her. And since I was a small girl I would always be interested in that field. But living in developing countries it was a tough major to do because there is always an uncertainty of jobs available. So that is why till July of this year I have been studying Computer Science. I just could not keep going because I want to something I love doing. I do not want to regret in the future because I did not take the courage to do what I love doing. I have to thank my mom for the support she has given me to do my best ! Thankyou mom
